The Book Reading Casey woke up, looked at the clock, and rushed to Ren's bedside.

"Wake up, Ren! We need to hurry, or we'll be late for the book reading," she cried out as she shook Ren's legs vigorously. Ren, Casey's twin sister, got out of bed reluctantly. Casey's excitement irritated Ren as Ren did not like to be woken up earlier than usual for any reason. Moreover, she did not share Casey's passion for literature.

They ate a hurried breakfast and then walked to the bus stop. On the bus, Casey talked non-stop while Ren tried unsuccessfully to catch up on her sleep. Casey said she was thrilled at having the opportunity to meet and speak with her favorite author, Pamela Jones, and to hear her read excerpts from her newly released book. Ren wondered how Casey could be excited about hearing someone read from a book.

As they walked into the bookstore, the bookstore owner welcomed Ren and Casey. Ms. Jones had already arrived and was seated at one end of the table. Her host read out a speech introducing the novelist, and then Ms. Jones began reading from her latest book. After the reading, it was time for questions and discussion. One of the participants asked Ms. Jones if there would be a movie adaptation of her latest work. She replied that she hadn't given it much thought but was open to the idea. Ren joined in the conversation at this point.

"I think an animated film would work really well, and after seeing the movie many more people will want to read your book," she said. Ren went on to explain why she thought so, and in the process, she talked about her own ambition of becoming a movie director. Everyone listened intently as she spoke.

As they headed back home after the event, Ren was glad she had accompanied Casey.

"Maybe reading books can be as much fun as watching movies. I'm certainly going to read Ms. Jones's latest book," she told Casey.

Consider the speakers in "the raven" and the speaker in "the song of wandering aengus." write two paragraphs to compare and contrast the voice in these two poems. how does the poet give the speaker in each poem a distinctive voice? what effect does this voice have in each poem? use examples from each poem to as evidence for your answer "the raven"once upon a midnight dreary, while i pondered, weak and weary,over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore—while i nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,as of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.“‘tis some visitor,” i muttered, “tapping at my chamber door—only this and nothing more.”ah, distinctly i remember it was in the bleak december, and each separate dying ember wrought its ghost upon the floor. eagerly i wished the morrow; —vainly i had sought to borrowfrom my books surcease of sorrow—sorrow for the lost lenore—for the rare and radiant maiden whom the angels name lenore—nameless here for evermore.and the silken sad uncertain rustling of each purple curtainthrilled me—filled me with fantastic terrors never felt before; so that now, to still the beating of my heart, i stood repeating“‘tis some visitor entreating entrance at my chamber door—some late visitor entreating entrance at my chamber door; this it is and nothing more.”"the song of wandering aengus." i went out to the hazel wood,because a fire was in my head,and cut and peeled a hazel wand,and hooked a berry to a thread; and when white moths were on the wing,and moth-like stars were flickering out,i dropped the berry in a streamand caught a little silver trout.when i had laid it on the floori went to blow the fire aflame,but something rustled on the floor, and some one called me by my name: it had become a glimmering girlwith apple blossom in her hairwho called me by my name and ranand faded through the brightening air.plz hurry
